Almost all Broncos present and accounted for

All of the Broncos players under contract reported to the team’s Dove Valley complex Thursday and the team formally opened training camp.

The only no-shows were first-round picks Robert Ayers and Knowshon Moreno, who have yet to sign contracts with the team. Negotiations continue with representatives for both players today and should speed up as more first-round picks sign around the league.

The Ravens agreed to terms on five-year deal with rookie tackle Michael Oher Monday and that deal, just five picks after Ayers was selected 18th overall by the Broncos, could help move things along.

Ayers has said he hoped to be in training camp on time to have “as good a chance as possible to play right away.”

Moreno was still in Athens, Ga., Wednesday and appears to be further away from a deal.

The Broncos veteran players reported Thursday morning, went through a conditioning test and were scheduled to attend meetings throughout the day. The team will have its first full-squad practice Friday morning.
